Timing
Timing categories are provided for intensity up and intensity down transitions. Non-intensity
parameter moves always use the intensity upfade time. Both of these times can have an associated
delay.
Time can be entered in minutes and seconds (example 10:15) with valid fade times from zero to
99.59, or seconds and tenths of seconds (example 1.3), or 100ths of seconds (example 1.35) with
valid fade times from zero to 99.99. When no time is applied at a cue level, the defaults established
in Setup are used.
See “{Cue Settings}” on page 45.
For Example:
You want the time for cue 1 to be 10 minutes and 15 seconds.
• [Cue] [1] [Time] [1][0][1][5] [Enter].
The command line will show the time as:
If you want the time for cue 1 to be in seconds and tenths of a second, like 1.3 seconds,
you will type using a decimal.
• [Cue] [1] [Time] [1][.][3] [Enter]
The command line will show the time as:
Setting Cue Level Timing
Unless you specify otherwise, Element assigns default fade times to any cue you record. Default
timing is designated in Setup. Timing can be applied when a cue is recorded or can be modified
later. The [Record] command is not required when changing the time of a pre-existing cue.
Following are some examples of record commands with cue level timing:
• [Record] <Cue> [5] [Time] [9] [Enter] - record cue 5 and puts a time of 9 seconds.
• [Record] <Cue> [6] [Time] [3] [Time] [9] [Enter] - records cue 6 and specifies the intensity
up time at 3 seconds and the down time at 9 seconds. The first instance of [Time] is used for
intensity up fade (meaning intensity value is fading to a higher level than is previously set) and
the second instance of [Time] is used for intensity down fade time (intensity values fading to
a lower level than is previously set).
• [Cue] [6] [Time] [Enter] - resets time to default value. If the cue is recorded with split time, this
command only resets the upfade time.
• [Cue] [6] [Time] [Time] [Enter] - unsplits the time and makes the downfade the same as the
upfade.
N o t e : [Time] entered on an empty or terminated command line will always post the
selected cue for time modification.
